nytimes has been covering AI related articles a lot since the OpenAI drama. I find the writing accessible and great introduction to subject. Similar articles have been written in media such as bloomberg (what is code?), new yorker (duo who made google).

So HN, tell me some excellent tech articles you have come across and read for general public in popular media?
